Makeup was all over the floor, startling the servants and the makeup artists. It was an important day with many guests waiting, yet the mother-in-law showed no respect for the daughter-in-law and attempted to exert her dominance. Mona was a lot calmer, or rather, cold. She grabbed Jennifer's fingers pointed at her face, and shook them away. Then, she said coldly, "Mrs. Fontaine, just cancel this ceremony if you’re unhappy with me. I don't want to waste my time putting on makeup here either." Jennifer was infuriated by Mona’s attitude. She trembled in disbelief. “You!” She flattered and fell on the couch behind her, breathing heavily. Mona took a deep breath to calm herself down. She glanced at the servants and makeup artists at the window and sighed. No matter how rude Jennifer was, she was her mother-in-law. Family affairs should be settled behind doors, not in front of others. “Can I have the room, please? Come back in half an hour.” The servants and makeup artists

Thaddeus was caught off guard by the question. It was indeed his weak spot. His face had a layer of frost on it. The man glared at his mother and said, “Mother, your marriage with Father was not based on feelings either, but that did not affect you two from staying under one roof and giving birth to me.” Jennifer’s eyes widened. She pointed at Thaddeus grudgingly and bellowed, “What is wrong with you? Are you trying to follow in our footsteps?” She was so loud that it startled the others around them. Thaddeus stood on the spot with a frosty look. It was not the first time the mother and son had a confrontation in front of others, especially the servants. The servants had gotten used to the arguments that happened now and then. To the outsiders, Thaddeus was a cold-hearted monster who did things with an iron fist. Everyone respected him, revered him, and assumed him as a God. However, that was not the case to the servants who had worked for the family for more than a few

The boy was loud, and he repeated his words again and again. Almost everyone present heard the boy. They all leaned forward to listen to what else the boy had to say. The boy was audacious enough to speak the thoughts in everyone’s minds. Just whose child was he? Thaddeus looked down at the boy, grabbed his jacket, and lifted him in the air. “Kid, do you know what a dupe is?” The boy swung his legs in the air and struggled. “I know. I know. You are a dupe. You don’t want the girl who likes you but the one who dislikes you. That’s why you are a dupe. You had it coming!” Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and slapped the boy on the butt. “Who taught you that?” The boy could barely walk properly, yet he was able to spew words that even adults dared not say. Someone must have instigated him to say those words in front of everyone else. He wanted to know whose child it was trying to test his patience. “Let me go! Sob… Let me go! I won’t say it anymore!” The boy, frightened by Th

Mona’s heart sank, and her eyes started to water. Master Fontaine hid it well. He was terribly ill, yet no one knew about it. He tapped Mona’s hand and gave her a smile. “Today is an important day. All the extended families and affiliates are influential figures, and some of them are the company’s working partners. So try to behave, okay?” Master Fontaine’s smile had a deep meaning to it. His words also reminded Mona to not cause any trouble on this important occasion. Mona snorted and got up. She put her sorrow away and replaced it with a blank look. She empathized with Master Fontaine. If he did not want to say, she would help him keep a secret. Fortunately, judging from the pulse reading, it was bad. However, even though Master Fontaine dragged it out, it was not irreversible. She sighed. She turned around and saw Thaddeus talking to a handsome young man in formal attire. She sized up the man carefully, feeling a sense of familiarity. Although it was her first time seein

Mona’s heart sank. She felt like a hand just pushed her closer to the cliff. One more step, and she would fall to her demise. A dash of nervousness appeared on her face before she suppressed her emotions and calmed herself down. She saw Thaddeus’ frosty look. It was only a moment ago that he was looking affectionately at her. Now, he was like a complete stranger to her. Thaddeus walked over to his mother and turned around to Mona. “Mother is right. According to family rules, you should kneel.” His words froze Mona’s heart completely and tossed her into the abyss. She clenched her fists and stared grudgingly at the man she barely recognized. She then curled her lips into a frosty grin and said strongly, “No!” Thaddeus was expressionless. He said, “Don’t forget your father is still in the hospital fighting for his life.” Mona’s pupils shrank in fear as she looked at Thaddeus. What happened back in the hospital, coupled with his frosty attitude, rendered her speechless.
